How to Use CliftonStrengths in Your Organization

CliftonStrengths is an assessment tool developed and introduced in 2001

HR Question: I've heard about StrengthsFinder or CliftonStrengths. How could this help me or my organization?

HR Answer: If you are considering using CliftonStrengths, you're in good company! In fact, companies such as BMW, Home Depot, PepsiCo and Wells Fargo are just a few representing the 90 percent of Fortune 500 companies who have used CliftonStrengths. As of 2023, 30 million people have taken the assessment.

CliftonStrengths, previously known as StrengthsFinder, is an assessment tool developed and introduced by Gallup in 2001 to help individuals and companies leverage individual talents and strengths in the workplace. The premise is that we all have a combination of innate talents unique to us. When we utilize those talents (and others utilize theirs), we can maximize our own development, achieve individual and group goals more easily, and get further in our day-to-day rather than when we use our “non-talent” areas – all while having more satisfaction overall.
